The Q1 attack aircraft, which is the strengthened AB26 bomber, passed almost a hundred meters above the position. The twin 23mm machine guns on the nose and the 12.7mm caliber aviation machine guns on both sides formed a powerful strike firepower.
The Japanese troops who were charging towards the Anjia Army's defensive position were quickly knocked to the ground like wheat.
Although the Japanese army launched the attack in a skirmish formation, it is reasonable to say that the blow they received would not be too great, but they could not withstand the waves of Q1 attack aircraft. The Japanese army's ferocious charge was soon contained, and then the B2 bombers
(Imitating Stuka ju87) dropped a series of dense bombs, and there were not many people left on the entire river beach.
The Japanese heavy machine gun position tried to put up a stubborn resistance. Eighteen Type 92 heavy machine guns were raised in unison and fired violently at the Q1 attack aircraft that was facing them.
The Type 92 heavy machine gun uses 7.7mm pointed bullets. The ammunition supply is 30 metal bullets, which can be continuously mounted. The combat rate of fire can reach 300 rounds/minute. Eighteen machine guns fire together and can fire more than 5,000 rounds per minute.
When bullets are fired, within a certain space, the density of the anti-air fire network can be imagined.
In the minds of the Japanese, no aircraft could withstand so many heavy machine gun fires in the air, so when they saw the oncoming fighter plane being hit, everyone let out a cheer.
But soon, their cheers turned into desperate screams before the emergency. The front and bottom of the fuselage of the Q1 attack aircraft were installed with high-strength alloy steel plates produced using German technology, and two to three layers of key parts were made.
Strengthened, it can even withstand attacks from anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns, not to mention 7.7mm caliber machine gun bullets.
Therefore, the dense machine gun bullets only caused violent sparks on the surface of the aircraft, leaving tiny white marks. However, the fighter plane was not affected at all. The machine gun and aviation machine gun on the nose of the aircraft fired a burst of secret fire, and then dropped it.
With a few 25kg and 50kg bombs, the entire Japanese heavy machine gun position was destroyed. The river beach was filled with pieces of flesh and blood and twisted scrap metal.
The Japanese soldiers who were crossing the river were so frightened that they turned the boat around and rowed to where they came from, but there was still no time.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Q1 attack plane passed over the river. The bamboo rafts and wooden boats were smashed to pieces under the intensive cannon and aircraft machine gun bullets. The Japanese soldiers sitting on them were turned into meat sieves.
Wind leaked all over his body, and blood rained out.
Occasionally, some clever people jumped into the water and tried to escape under boats, bamboo rafts, but they were killed by the powerful penetrating power of large-caliber machine guns and aircraft machine guns that penetrated the wood, and their blood almost turned the river red.
In fact, it seems that it took a long time to write it down, but in fact it happened in an instant. The Japanese army was crossing the river and the troops crossing the river had already suffered a devastating blow. The next ones to suffer were those who were desperately running back by the river.
Japanese soldiers.
This is much easier than chasing a duck. The Q1 attack aircraft continues to move forward, constantly spraying out bullets, harvesting lives wantonly.
The B2 bombers following closely behind the attack planes were specifically looking for Japanese troops gathered together. They rushed over and swooped down, dropping strings of bombs. As a huge explosion sounded, groups of Japanese soldiers were lifted into the air with the air waves.
He was torn into pieces with shrill screams.
Several Japanese Navy gunboats had just been bitten by A27 fighter jets and fled back to the sea. Before they could take a breath, B2 bombers had already rushed over in a swarm, almost dropping armor-piercing bombs against the antenna on the top of the gunboats.
Special tungsten-core armor-piercing bullets can tear apart even the armor of a battleship. However, to deal with small-tonnage gunboats, steel-core armor-piercing bullets are enough to kill them. The armor-piercing bullets directly penetrate into the interior of the gunboat, causing a violent explosion and a huge explosion.
The energy instantly tore the hull apart, and in the sky-high flames, the gunboats capsized one by one without even being able to fight back.
...
Half an hour after the frontline battle started, An Yi, who was in Tashkent, received a message from Xinjing. Along with the message came completely different opinions from the General Staff and the army, navy and air force generals.
When the battle occurred, the General Staff was holding a two-day joint meeting of the three armed forces in Xinjing.
Navy Commander Cheng Guang, Air Force Commander Huang Xuyi, three Corps Commanders of the Army (Gu Changfeng, Xia Jian and Yang Guan), as well as the National Defense University, Military Academy, Army Command College, Army Aviation College, Communications Command College, and Artillery College
Principals attended the meeting together and jointly studied a series of issues such as equipment modernization and coordinated operations among the three armed forces.
The sudden attack by the Japanese army interrupted the meeting. Yang Fei immediately explained the situation and immediately issued orders to dispatch military reinforcements and dispatch the air force to fight.
However, there are considerable differences between the generals and the generals on the practical issue of whether this war will be a major or minor war, whether it will be an all-out war or whether it will be limited to regional conflicts.
Some generals advocated firing the first shot of the war against Japan, completely driving the Japanese army off the Malay Peninsula, and turning the Gulf of Siam, which has been renamed the Southern Gulf, into the inland sea of South China and numerous excellent seaports in the southern part of the Malay Peninsula.
It will become a bridge of communication between South China and Europe and the United States.
At the same time, after occupying Sin Chew and the Malay Peninsula, since the main channel of the Malacca Strait is blocked, it only needs to deploy a powerful air force to prevent the enemy from landing. Moreover, with Sin Chew, it can covet the Lan Yin Islands occupied by Japan. Strategically, it is in a retreat.
A favorable position that can be defended, advanced and attacked.
This idea was supported by Navy Commander Cheng Guang, Air Force Commander Huang Xuyi, Red River Corps Commander Xia Jian, Southwest Artillery Academy Dean Zhang Zhongkang and other generals.
Others believe that it is not appropriate to go to full-scale war with Japan at this time.
It is not difficult to drive the Japanese army out of the sea. What is difficult is to deal with the complicated international situation that follows. Precisely because Singapore and Malaya have an extremely important strategic position and are the chokepoints and bridges leading to the Indian Ocean, it is difficult for the Japanese army to do so.
occupies an extremely important position in strategy.
It is conceivable that once Sin Chew and Malaya are occupied, the Japanese army will most likely drop everything, shake hands with the British, make peace with the British, take the initiative to withdraw troops from British Borneo and Burma, and devote all their efforts to the war against South China. And if the British come back, they will definitely
By demanding the return of Malaya and Singapore, South China may be in an embarrassing situation where it cannot advance or retreat.
Nanhua currently does not have a powerful navy, and the total tonnage of warships is less than a quarter of the Japanese navy. The Japanese army can use a powerful combined fleet to seize Nanhua's sea access outside the range of aircraft and completely cut off commercial exchanges between Nanhua and other countries.
And using the temptation of joining the Allies to improve relations with Britain, the United States, France and other countries, promising that the scope of influence is limited to China and the territory of South China, then Britain, the United States, France and other countries who are worried about changes in the situation in Europe may not really sit down.
Negotiations, then China and Nanhua will become the targets of betrayal.
What Nanhua needs most now is a stable period of development. The war should be limited to areas far away from the mainland as much as possible to avoid damaging the industry that is on the track of rapid expansion. Therefore, the scale of the war must be strictly limited and stopped at the last minute.
Those who hold this view are Yang Fei, Deng Bin, Zhao Dongquan, Shen Ziling and other headquarters generals.
Generals such as Gu Changfeng, Yang Guan, Zhang Tianyi, director of the Xufu Military Academy, Han Yaoxian, director of the Simao Army Command College, and other generals held a neutral view, believing that there were advantages to a big war and that there was a reason why the war should not be expanded.
An Yi's instructions shall prevail.
After An Yi read the telegram, he immediately found Yang Jie. After Yang Jie read the telegram, he asked: "Brother Geng Guang, what do you think?"
Yang Jie looked at An Yi and smiled slightly: "The chairman must have an idea, right?"
An Yi nodded: "I prefer the opinions of Yang Fei and Deng Bin. Malaya and Xingzhou are indeed a piece of fat meat, but it is not delicious! If you eat it, be careful that your stomach will burst! Japanese
They have the confidence to occupy Malaya and Singapore because they have the third largest navy in the world, but what do we have?
"Moreover, I have always regarded Japan as a mad dog, hoping that it will bite people everywhere so that we can catch the dog's butt and profit! If we close the door ourselves and let this mad dog bite us,
We have been busy beating dogs all day long. Do we have a tendency to seek abuse?
"Actually, both the mainland faction and the southward faction in the Japanese army have their own reasons. Japan now occupies millions of square kilometers of land in the Far East, and has occupied the Lanyin Islands in the south. It has sufficient resources and room for development. If it is willing
It is not difficult to gain compromise and recognition from Britain and the United States by voluntarily giving up the requirement for maritime expansion, clearly proposing to limit the total tonnage of naval warships, deliberately building a rapport with Britain and the United States, and specializing in continental warfare!
"What a terrifying force the navies of Britain, the United States, France and Japan together are. I believe that as long as they are willing, they can restrict the flow of any resources into China and South China. Our seemingly infinitely bright development prospects will be immediately destroyed.
A blow! Materials cannot be transported in, and the products produced cannot be sold. How can we obtain the funds for urgent development by relying solely on internal digestion?
"In addition, if all the millions of Japanese troops are committed to the Chinese battlefield, and with the material support of the United States, even if we can win in the end, it will be a tragic victory. When we smash all the pots and jars at home, we will finally drive away the Japanese.
, Looking back, the overall situation of the world has basically been decided, the new international political and economic order has been re-established, and our opportunity to use the world war to change the destiny of the Chinese nation has been lost!
"Therefore, intellectually, I am inclined not to fight, but emotionally, I want to teach these beasts, whose hands are stained with Chinese blood, a painful lesson! It's hard to make a choice!"
"I see!"
Yang Jie thought for a while and suggested: "Chairman, do you think this is good? Wang Xulun's first group army is in Tongsong. Songkhla has three newly formed garrison divisions. Can you order the air force to attack Kota Bharu and Songkhla respectively?
Indiscriminate bombing began in the two port cities of Kabul, and then the three guard divisions divided into two groups and marched into Malaya from the east and west coasts. Wang Xulun's First Group Army quickly followed up and advanced from the east coast to Japan and Germany south of Fudi.
Town, the west coast occupied Kedah Port, Penang and Taiping Town in Perak, using this as the limit for the use of troops!
"Isn't Penang known as the city of overseas Chinese? We killed as many Japanese troops as possible during the march, waited for two days, moved all the overseas Chinese in the occupied areas back to our territory, and then withdrew the entire army. The entire operation must be
Implement it meticulously and resolutely. Regardless of whether the enemy's reinforcements have arrived in the above areas, the troops must unconditionally withdraw within the national borders!"
"wonderful!"
An Yi thought about it carefully and clapped his hands: "This plan is very good. It not only shows the Japanese army the unrivaled strength of our army, but also shows our unwillingness to get involved in Malaya and Singapore. In the future, we will fly the flag of a neutral country."
The Japanese have to carefully consider the merchant ships entering and exiting the Strait of Malacca. They are worried that if we are angered by this, we may directly send troops to take down Sin Chew. Both sides have their own concerns, so we can live in peace!"
He pondered for a while and then said: "Well, we might as well use our missile force again. This great weapon has been manufactured but has not been used yet. Its power must be tested through actual combat. We have missile bases deployed on the Malay Peninsula. This
We can just use the enemy's port to exploit it. As long as the port facilities are paralyzed, the troop mobilization speed will be at least half as slow. When our squadron returns to camp, we will leave a mess for them to deeply reflect on!"
Yang Jie smiled and nodded.
Without further ado, An Yi immediately came to the telecommunications room and verbally gave orders.
The order was transmitted to Xinjing via radio waves, and all disputes were immediately shelved. The General Staff immediately and meticulously acted around An Yi's arrangement, and quickly launched a wave of fierce counterattacks against the Japanese army.
